History & Biography
A German band with a French name, the act was founded in 2008 and released a debut record in 2014. The members knew one another from previous formations, but the founders were guitarist Sebastian and drummer Daniel. The band appeared at Cold Winter Days in 2010. It was part of the Cold Season Tour of 2013 with Nailed To Obscurity. The act opened for Pentagram, Benediction and others at In Flammen Open Air in 2014.

Forsaken Earth came supported through a video for the song Small.Town.Depression. Autumn Kings switched to Lifeforce. The group was part of Summer Breeze 2019. The Renaissance Of Hope featured bassist Stephan Hünniger. Several concerts were cancelled thanks to the pandemic. The 2022 EP Pale Serenades featured acoustic self-cover versions including the song Small Town Depression. The song A Swan Lake Full Of Tears featured a guest appearance by Mick Moss of Antimatter.

Décembre Noir's Your Sunset | My Sunrise album is available through Lifeforce Records in late 2023. Fab was on drums since 2021. He replaced Gabor who had replaced Kevin. The band toured with Endseeker and appeared at Turock Fest. The band kicked off 2024 with 70000 Tons Of Metal and played multiple festivals throughout the year. Sebastian Görlach and Stephan Hünniger, however, left the band in favour of a new, as of 2025, act called Deathwish Apocalypse. Egan guitarist Schubi also joined Décembre Noir. The band was booked for Dark Easter Metal Meeting in Munich, The Rock House Open Air and Protzen Open Air in 2026. Décembre Noir was recording new music in 2026.
